The Ultimate Steak Marinade Recipe — Perfectly Tender and Flavorful Every Time

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients: garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, herb seasoning, cayenne, black pepper, white pepper, and salt.

2. Place the steaks inside a large zip-lock bag.

3. Pour the marinade over the steaks, seal the bag, and gently massage to coat evenly.

4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or for best results, marinate overnight to maximize flavor and tenderness.

5. When ready to cook, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat.

6. Sear the steaks for 5 to 8 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes for medium to well-done steaks.

7. Remove steaks and let them rest for 5 minutes, topping with butter and garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
